Bon alors, la premiere edition sort dans un mois pour Gigastudio. 1800 euros/dollars, et va sortir sous le nouveau format EXS24 qui sera lui diponible apparement juste apres. Il est aussi question, enfin, d'une nouvelle version de Gigastudio dans les mois a venir.
Une Beta du nouvel EXS tourne depuis samedi soir a L'AES dans le stand du VSL.

Dans quelques mois sortira la 2eme partie. 1000 Dol pour ceux qui auront achete la premiere partie.

Au total 61 Gigas.

Lors du petit dej il a ete question des conditions et techniques d'enregistrement etc.
des demos ont ete jouees, comme le Danube bleue ;-) et Parachute, un cue de Goldsmith pour "Air force one". Ils n'ont rien joué du Kronos quartet......
Pour metre les mains dans le canbouil, il faut donc aller sur leur stand a l'AES, et j'irai demain en compagnie d'autres mecanos.

La librairie semble orientee Large ensemble ( Il auraient prevu d'enregistrer des sections de cordes plus petites )
Sonic implant pourait bien garder la palme en ce qui concerne les sections plus petites.
Garritan est dans les choux. Je ne connais pas grand monde qui ne regrette pas d'avoir achete cette librairie. Moi en premier.

Bref reste a entendre le VLS, (qui n'est pas une production du philarmonic, on avait compri) dans une configuration de travail.

Voici leur dossier de presse.

The first and only complete Orchestral Sample Library on DVD-ROM and Hard Disk.


Vienna, Austria, October 1, 2002. The Vienna Symphonic Library is an Orchestral Sample Library of unprecedented sonic dimension. For the first time ever the complete range of the modern symphony orchestra has been recorded in a specially constructed recording stage designed expressly for the rigorous demands of orchestral sampling. Produced by highly-educated composers, played by top musicians from Vienna’s world-renown orchestras, recorded in 96 kHz/24-bit and perfected by a team of over 30 highly specialized editing engineers, the Vienna Symphonic Library will be an orchestral sample collection that is simply unsurpassed in both size and quality. It will be released initially for Emagic’s EXS24 and Tascam’s GigaStudio platforms.

The first release on DVD-ROM will feature over 70,000 samples and will be followed by further editions on hard disk. Once complete, the Vienna Symphonic Library will consist of 1.5 million single-note samples and performance elements. Until now, many of these instruments have never been recorded for a sample library. For example, the bass trumpet, contrabass trombone, and contrabass tuba bring closure to the sampled brass category, while the world’s lowest-pitched gong, the deepest tubular bells, and others from the large and rare percussion collection owned by the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra were captured as well.

However, the biggest innovations of the Vienna Symphonic Library are to be found in areas other than the enormous number and variety of samples. Specifically, quality, flexibility, ease of use, user support and upgrade-potential set this library far apart from its predecessors. The samples are totally devoid of background noise (80 – 100 dB signal-to-noise!) and have absolute clarity, even in the pianissimo performances. The “Silent Stage,” as it is called, was designed specifically to record samples of orchestral instruments. The recording technology used (stereo throughout with full mono compatibility) makes it possible to produce everything from epic Hollywood film music to chamber music arrangements or solo pieces. An entirely new component system consisting of so-called performance elements means that playing techniques such as legatos, runs and repetitions, which have had limited implementation in previous orchestral sample libraries, are now completely and intelligently integrated to make possible a realism unobtainable until now. Special mappings make it easy for the user to adjust the timing and note lengths within the performance elements and even to manipulate these authentic passages in real-time! Because each instrument is mapped the same way across its entire range, the user can find what he’s looking for quickly and dependably, despite the vast number of individual instrument and ensemble samples. On the Vienna Symphonic Library’s extensive website (www.vsl.co.at) one will find not only the world’s largest available interactive instrument encyclopedia, but also technical hints, tips for arranging and guidelines on how to achieve the perfect mix. Further, there are a large number of excellent demos of individual instruments, small ensembles and full orchestras that can be heard or downloaded on the spot. And last but not least, the purchase of every edition of this library is an investment in the future; registered users can grow their collection as the Vienna Symphonic Library develops, upgrade their software at affordable rates, or cross-grade to other formats, safe in the knowledge that they will not lose any of their investment no matter what software developments occur in the future.

The Vienna Symphonic Library will be presented for the first time at the AES Convention in Los Angeles in early October 2002. Here visitors will have the chance to test the samples and mappings in an ideal acoustic environment in a soundproof booth. The first opportunity to experience the Library “live” in Europe will be at the Five Days workshop in Munich.
